I signed up for RaptorPass as soon a I saw the option on
JurassicWorld.com. They promised that I would be notified about any
new material on JW's site and exclusive news. Today I got my first
message (see picture).

They notified me about the 4 new dinosaurs on the website.
Judging from the recent edits, most of you have figured that out by
now.

They also write that the Jurassic World team has a new member:
Brian Switek.

"Please welcome Brian Switek, JurassicWorld.com's resident
paleontologist. Through his expert knowledge and guidance, Brian
has been a big source of inspiration for us. As a professional
science writer with expertise in paleontology, Brian helps make
improvements to the park and the website every day to continually

The world of genome editing is expanding massively. It is
expected to be used in the future in the world of medicine (gene
therapy, pharming), agriculture (GM crops), and many other
uses.

In the world of de-extinction, I found out about a device that
could be of good use to it. Meet MAGE, or Multiplex Automated
Genomic Engineering.

The MAGE device is still a prototype, but so far, it has been
able to make bacteria produce five times the normal quantity of
lycopene. The device can perform up to 50 genome alterations at a
time, meaning that a genome could be altered drastically in a few
days or weeks. This means that we don't have to synthesize an
organism's genome from scratch.

I'm sure most of you now saw the trailer for Jurassic World. In
the trailer, they explained that the new D-Rex was going to be a
genetically modified hybrid. But the question I'm sure some of you
are wondering is: What will it be a hybrid of? Obviously just by
the name alone, T-Rex is going to be in the genome somwhere. But,
what else? A lot of people think it's a hybrid of Tyrannosaurus Rex
and Velociraptor. That could be the case. Maybe it could be a
hybrid of T-Rex and Carnotaurus.

What do you guys think? What dinosaurs do you think they used to
make D-Rex?

Alright folks, I'm starting this chat to be a civilized
debate/conversation. Points will be given and taken, based on
incoming information and past events. Now, I don't want
paragraph-long arguements. And I don't want people arguing for mere
fun.

For example, the newly released trailer shows a Mososaur, it's
website refers to Mount Sibo, and an evicted Costa Rican tribe from
Isla Nublar. That alone adds 3 solid points to the game being
canon. You can look into the details and give decent points, and
any information from the past films is also considered.

Well my friends it finally aired, the trailer for Jurassic
World. If any of you haven't seen it, head over to youtube
now! I would like to know what you think? What
dinosaurs did you see, which ones do you hope to see, what do you
think of the bioengineered dinosaur angle?

Uses CGI stand-ins from JP1 and the D-rex CGI isn't finished,
but the Mosasaur one
is! http://iconosquare.com/kenbarbforever

Photo of the Mosasaur:

UPDATE: Leaked clips have been removed.

UPDATE 2: I've just been sent some pictures from a FOURTH
leaked video! One with an overturned gyrosphere, and 2 others
involving Pteranodons attacking a helicopter. Seems like we're
getting the Ptero Attack from the scrapped finale of TLW!

Alright folks, Universal Pictures just released the very first
footage of Jurassic World, in a Teaser Trailer to hype the release
of the Theatrical Trailer on the 27th this week. Check the footage
out here and let me know what you all think!

Jurassic Park: The Game is simply NOT canon. It is NOT an
official sequel to the original film.

Telltale bought Universal's support for the project and did
everything they could to deliver an authentic Jurassic Park
experience, even going so far as writing a story woven into the
events of the film. However it is no more a true sequel to the film
than any glorified Fan-Fic is.

Telltale added characters and animals that weren't in the film
and weren't even being kept on Isla Nublar.

When Jurassic Park states there were only 3 Raptors being housed
on the island during the events of the film then how dare a third
party call that a lie. NO other living Raptors were known about by
ANY Jurassic Park staff. They had no reason to keep anything from
…

This text is intended to serve as a back story and
reconciliation of the design changes in Dinosaurs between films.
Namely the Raptors and Pteranodons.

To properly reconcile the films and the Dinosaur changes seen
throughout, one must first realize what the Dinosaurs INGEN created
really are.

The Dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are, quite simply, mutants.

They are made complete by combining the DNA of other creatures
with the original Dinosaur DNA which results in the animals
possesing features and attributes not found in their
true-to-history counterparts. They have been tweaked and modified
to be as close as possible to real Dinosaurs but they are still not
100% genuine.

I have added a few quotes, links and personal theories to help
prove thi…

The link above goes to the newly launched "Teaser Site" for
Jurassic World. The site features new and extensive details,
including the announced death of John Hammond in 1997 after TLW:JP,
and the aquisition of InGen by Masrani Global, a corporation that
aimed to establish a new park on Nublar.

The site also features several new photos, including the first
appearance of B.D. Wong once again as Dr. Henry Wu

What's also incredible about this site and the newly announced
details, is the absolute dedication some of the details have to
established canon. Just reading through the "Preserve Isla Nublar"
section, I noted that the filmmakers took Nima's tribe and
referenced it, as …

Here is the first look at Diabolus
Rex: http://www.groovebricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/LEGO-Jurassic-World-2015-1.jpg

Now you might be wondering why it is lego, and this is why. Lego
are producing Jurassic world sets for next year, but a Chinease
company has released images of them, as a lot of the models have
already been made. The other models include a new T.rex plus 4
different coloured raptors, suggesting that there are 4 different
named raptors, presumably the ones Chris Pratt looks after.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my deepest regret to inform you that
Jurassic Park star Lord Richard Attenborough is dead at
90: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/son-tells-bbc-british-actor-director-richard-attenborough-25106260

Thanks to help from The Cold Storage Room page and John
Alfred Hammond CEO I now know all of the 15 species that they
cloned in the film cannon. In Jurassic Park the game there are 9
species of dinosaurs on the first island. So the remainder of the
species are on the second island.

Recently, I've been creating a Jurassic World movie site, as
well as a facebook page.However it doesn't seem like many JW fans
visit it. So please visit the website and tell me what you think!
Thank you!

The special teaser is unknown weither it will be small slice of
footage, a teaser trailer or even a official trailer with chunks of
footage.

UPDATE: Sadly, Jurassic World didn't make an appearence
at all. No Teaser, No Footage, Nothing but a poster, JW Car and a
TREX head that was supposed to be a build to the most exciting day
at Comic Con that brought us nothing.

UPDATE #1: After the shame of Jurassic World not
being seen at Comic Con, Jurassic World Teaser is set to be
released on the Vines App, the time is yet unknown

Awhile back, I purchased a Jurassic Park /// Prop on ebay. It
came from a very highly recommended seller, and his story claimed
that he new someone working close with the film when it was made,
and received this item.

The prop I supposedly purchased is the screen-used business card
from Kirby Enterprises. Unfortunately, it came with no COA
(Certificate of Authenticity), but that is understandable. From
what I've read, several of these were produced for the film, but
only one or possibly two made it into the final film. I've noticed
that the black backround has smudged off to the right of the "K"
and left of "Paul Kirby's" information. Ironically, I've also
compared this to the film, and this particular are where the smudge
appears is exactl…

Today I compared our article on JW with the one on wikipedia.
One thing was clear to me. We need someone who will take the
responsibility for writing the articles about . And we need one
now.

Our articles , Jurassic World/Rumours and Jurassic
World/Production are in a very bad shape. We need someone who
can write properly and will keep the articles free of vandals and
update them as soon as there is new trustworthy news.

Hello everyone, I was wondering what your thoughts about the
plot-line for Jurassic World would be? I have several moments and
plot elements that I think will be used, let's see what you
think.

Main Overview & Known Material:

Okay, everyone pretty much knows that a new, fully functional
Jurassic-themed amusement park, Hotel-resort, golf club, and
tourist attraction is fully functional, called Jurassic World.
Several photos of a new map of Isla Nublar have been released, and
original Jurassic Park fans are overjoyed to finally have this film
made. Anyway, several cast members have also been named, such as
Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Omar Sy, Irrfan Khan, and B.D.
Wong (thankfully returning). Little to no elements are known about
their c…

First of all, I think that will be great. However, I am very
afraid that the door of this Visitor Center will still be intact.
Because if it is, it will contradict with the events of Jurassic
Park: The Game. In T. rex Showdown! Rexy destroyes the
stairs, bites of a piece of railing and bursts through the Center's
front; destroying the door and a piece of the skulped skeleton
above it.

If the Visitor Center was back in use, it could be that the front
was repaired. However, the buildings is probably in ruins and found
by characters who are lost in the jungle. So, I don't think anyone
would bother to repair it.

It seems that the plan to recreate woolly mammoths is already in
progress. Not just talking and planning, but actual progress. Three
genes from the mammoth have already been migrated into elephant
cells. In three years, we could have a mammoth-elephant hybrid
embryo ready to be implanted into an Asian elephant uterus.

I emailed George Church (the scientist doing the project) to see
if it was true. And it was indeed true. You can see his email in
the thumbnail.

Instead of trying to recreate a full mammoth genome (pretty much
impossible), he is instead creating a mammoth-elephant hybrid
genome, which is much easier. George Church's TED talk explains
this further. The genome-editing method he uses is known as
CRISPR.

Take it with a grain of salt. JobLo is supposedly a reliable
site but this also sounds heavily based on the old script. Probably
not worth it to add these details to the wiki yet, but let's hear
what you guys think about it.

At 30 July 2010 THE8PURPLE2 created a Facebook page for Park
Pedia. We all thought it would be the perfect medium to promote
this wiki and attract new members.

The Facebook page can be found here: Jurassic Park
Wiki.

This wiki is in a terminal shortage of active knowledgeable
editors and admins. So, I really wanted to give it a try.

For the more than last year the fb page had an update almost
every day. Single handedly, with some short help from Kabilan29, I
made sure the members had funny/interesting updates every day.

However, my time wasn't well wasted. After all that
time spend, we have yet to recieve our 200th like. Furthermore, the
closest thing to new members it attracted was some Redneck
fundamentalist complaining that we talked about ev…
